hey I'm at about 17 hours of flight time. My instructor was going to have me solo last time out but for some reason I had a terrible day. There was a 90 degree crosswind but only at about 8 knots and i just could not master it. I kept landing rough and quite crooked on the runway. I seemed to have trouble with the correct approach speed also. The only reason I'm not too down on myself is the day before with no wind i had several great landings. Seems that crosswind just through me off. any advice is appreciated.
